Regarding President Obama’s speech on immigration: He is one of the worst presidents that the United States has ever had. After hearing his speech, I wondered why he just doesn’t dissolve the borders of the United States and just allow anybody to come here with open arms? Hasn’t you heard of the word illegal? People who are here illegally should deported immediately, not welcomed and told that it is no problem that they broke the law by being here illegally.
If people came here using the legal process of immigration, then I have no problem. But people who crossed the border illegally have no right whatsoever to be here! Obama, by wanting them to stay and become citizens, is violating American law! He is supposed to be the president of the United States of America, and thus supposed to support the laws, not violate them. There is a reason why there is a specific route to become an American citizen. By allowing people to stay without having to go through the legal process he is saying to everybody in the world that hey, it’s OK to violate the laws of the United States and go ahead and come here illegally. What do laws matter anyway, you become an American citizen the easy way?
My wife came from Mongolia and she had to get a green card and go through the process of becoming a United States citizen which cost me a hell of a lot of money. But she did it the legal way and eventually became a citizen. Which I’m extremely proud to have as my wife. But by allowing all the illegal citizens to stay here makes it a travesty for what my wife had to go through in order to become a citizen. As far as I’m concerned, Obama is not my president! He is just somebody pretending to be the president for the next couple years. I am extremely proud to say that I did not vote for him and he should be ashamed for being president for not upholding all the laws by allowing the illegal aliens to stay here in the United States.
